IPL 2021: Aakash Chopra has highlighted how the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) late approach to the run-chase in yesterday’s IPL 2021 encounter made it seem like a Test match.
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) set the Kane Williamson-led side a target of 126 runs. Within the Indian Premier League match played in Sharjah. With the sluggish surface making strokeplay troublesome. The Sunrisers Hyderabad overseen a meager 20 runs within the powerplay to drop behind the eight balls.
Ravi Bishnoi
Whereas lauding Ravi Bishnoi’s bowling execution, the cricketer-turned-commentator included that Jason Holder might not take the Sunrisers Hyderabad over the line in spite of his best efforts.
“Ravi Bishnoi comes and shines, then you think why you dropped him. He was doing very well, he did well last year also. Why you didn’t play him from the beginning? We don’t have answers to those questions. Jason Holder hit four sixes and took the team close to victory but they didn’t get a win.” Chopra observed
However, Holder smashed an unbeaten 47 off fair 29 deliveries, which included five hits over the ropes. He couldn’t hit a six off the final delivery that would have taken the match into a Super Over.
“It seemed the wagon was not moving at all, whether it was KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, or Nicholas Pooran – no one was able to do anything. They tried a little for sure. In the end, Hooda also tried and somehow they played 20 overs to score 125 runs. That’s not a bad total but not great also.” said Aakash Chopra
